Riparia, 65 acres, and to California, 5 acres; of which 25 acres are grafted and in bear- 

 ing, 5 acres are grafted and not bearing, and 40 acres are not yet grafted. The grafts 

 Mondeuse, Burgundy, Semillon, and Bouschet have succeeded alike; soil gravelly loam: 

 vineyard low lying; exposure east; of the European varieties, Malvoisie, Zinfandel, and 

 Chasselas have proved about equally resistant; great care has been taken to replant 

 resistants as soon as vines are attacked; crop, 220 tons. 



Mr. Lame has given much time and close attention to the planting of resistants, and 

 has met with considerable success. Neither Lenoir nor Calif ornica are favored here. 

 The resistants in bearing do well and promise good results. Mr. Larue is satisfied 

 that Riparia will do exceedingly well, but can tell more in the course of a year or two. 

 They seem to give general satisfaction as far as he has seen, and he thinks this i^ 

 the only way to preserve our vineyards, and advises planting them, for they have proved 

 a very good'resistant. It is doubtful if there is any better or as good. Rupestris and 

 Californicas are of not much account. We evidently have to choose between Riparia 

 and Lenoir, and the former has been found to stand the test, but the latter will fail in 

 some situations.
